ABSTRACT
Acute gastric volvulus in children is a rare condition, but a potentially life-threatening cause of upper gastrointestinal obstruction requiring prompt diagnosis and treatment. However, the symptoms are ambiguous, so that it can be easily misdiagnosed. We report on the case of a 3-year-old boy patient with recurrent vomiting despite conservative therapy. Findings of a bedside ultrasonography and upper gastro-intestinal contrast study showed mesentero-axial gastric volvulus without adjacent organ abnormality. He was managed with endoscopic gastropexy and was discharged without complication.
